President Obama’s speech

September 8, 2009

As I sit here multitasking, watching the US tennis open, and contemplating the new school year, I find myself asking why. Why am I drawn to this topic instead of writing about the top sites I have come across? Why do politics get in the way of education? Why do people look for the negative? Why can’t we take people at face value? Why do right wingers feel they have the right to tell others what to do?

I don’t know if any of you got to read Gary Stager’s piece on the Obama speech that appeared in the Huffington Post… in case you haven’t: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gary-stager/a-sneak-peek-at-obamas-sp_b_276366.html Stager opens the piece with, “Study hard. Take lots of tests. Obey your teachers. Don’t watch television. Don’t play video games. Education is your responsibility. Eat lots of vegetables. Be bipartisan. Always be bipartisan”.

The President is trying to inspire students to do well, stay in school, give back to mankind, become effective adults and be conscientious about your choices. Not bad if you ask me.
